Philippe Perreault rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Clear garnet color.

A nose of bleuberry, cassis, eucalypteuce, coffee, mocha, chocolate, spice, espresso and licorice.

The wine is firm, creamy, full-bodied and long on the palate.

Pair it with grilled red meat.

Serve it at 15-17 degrees.

Ready to drink but can be aged 6-8 years yet.

Steve Thurlow (90)
This is a very smooth, elegant, well balanced cabernet with mild aromas and a fine structure. Expect the nose to show pure blueberry fruit with some mild oak spice, with some woodsy notes and pencil lead. The palate is full bodied but feels lighter due to some soft acidity. It finishes delightfully with some nice grippy tannin. Very good length. Will gain in complexity with a few more years of bottle age. Best 2014 to 2020. Try with a juicy cut of roast beef.
